Boat or Plane?

There is quite a difference in designing a "boat that benefits from WIG effects", and an "aircraft that can land on water". There is certainly lot's of info around on both - but they aree definately different animals!

The guy who started this thread works at the only place that has ever done an air cushion landing system (retro fitted to an aircraft), I find this a little odd. Perhaps someone put him up to starting this thread - don't have any idea why, just find it odd.

The "Lake" aircraft and the "Buffalo" of the early to mid 1970's have not been replicated to the best of my knowlege.
